To install the batteries:

1.

   Remove the battery compartment 

cover.

2. 

  Insert the batteries, matching the 

batteries to the (+) and (–) marks 

inside the battery compartment.

3. 

  Push the battery cover back into 

place.

Battery Precautions: 

•  Do not mix old and new batteries. 

•  Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-

cadmium) batteries.

•  Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and 

recycle or dispose of them in accordance with Local and National 

Regulations.

To use this universal remote with your home entertainment system, 

first you need to program it to control your devices. There are 

four ways you can program the universal remote to operate your 

devices. Try them in the order listed. 
•   The 

Direct Code Entry

 lets you enter a code from the 

accompanying code list for your brand of device. 

•   The 

Brand Code Search

 searches through the codes for select 

brands of devices. 

• The 

Auto Code Search

 goes automatically through all the 

codes for the device you’re trying to control.  

•   The 

Manual Code Search

 lets you manually go through all the 

codes for the device you’re trying to control.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality

1.  Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If 

some device features don’t work, go to the next step to 

try a different code.

2. 

  Repeat the Auto Code Search Method from the beginning. 

When your device turns off, do not stop searching. Instead, 

with the unit now off, continue to press the PLAY key every 5 

seconds until the unit turns back on. 

3. 

  Once the unit turns back on, press the REVERSE key on the 

remote every 2 seconds until your device turns off again. 

When your device turns off again, press the STOP key. 

4. 

  Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control 

a variety of the device’s functions. If the code that has 

been stored controls the majority of the device’s functions, 

programming is complete. If the code stored does not give 

maximum functionality, try another code.

Auto Code Search

The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the codes 

for the device you’re trying to control. When you find the one that 

operates your device, you can stop the search and store that code. 

TIPS:

 Each device key is associated with a type of device—the 

TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•STRM for satellite 

receivers, cable boxes or streaming players, DVD•VCR 

for DVD players, and AUDIO•SB for audio devices and 

soundbars. To program a device key for a different type of 

device, see the 

Changing a Key’s Device Type section. 

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Auto 

Code Search, press the EXIT key.

1.

  Manually turn on the device you 

want to control. 

2.

  Press and hold the device key you want to program. The 

POWER key illuminates. 

 

While you’re holding down the device key, use your other 

hand to press and hold the remote’s POWER key at the same

remote is testing a batch of 10 

codes on your device.

 

Did your device turn off? 

 YES: 

Go to step 5.

 NO: 

Press PLAY again. The remote tests the next batch of 10 

codes. 

 

Keep pressing PLAY every 5 seconds until your device turns off. 

5. 

When your device turns off, press 

the REVERSE key on the remote 

and wait at least 2 seconds. The 

remote tries the last of the previous 

ten codes. 

 

Did your device turn on?

 YES: 

Press the STOP key. You’re 

done! You’ve programmed this 

device key.

 NO: 

Press REVERSE again. The remote tests the next code in 

the batch. 

 

Keep pressing REVERSE every 2 seconds until your device 

turns back on. When it does, press STOP.

Note:

 If you accidentally press the REVERSE key after your 

device turns on, press the FORWARD key. Then, wait two 

seconds to see if your device turns off again. 

NOTES

Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the 

remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are currently 

programming the remote to control.

Test the remote with the device to make sure the device key is 

programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality. 

If some features don’t work, try a different code. See the 

“Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality” section below 

for more information.

During the Auto Code Search, the remote ignores keypresses 

that aren’t part of the search. 

The search times out after two minutes (the POWER key blinks 

four times and turns off, and the last programmed code under 

that device key is retained).

The POWER key blinks four times and turns off when the 

remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits the 

Auto Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, try a 

different search method.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality

1. 

 

Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If 

some device features don’t work, go to the next step to 

try a different code.

2. 

  Repeat the Brand Code Search from the beginning. When the 

device turns off for the first time, don’t press the STOP key, 

which would store the same code. Instead, with the unit now 

off, continue to press the POWER key repeatedly until the 

unit turns back on.

3. 

  Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code 

that operates the device. Press the STOP key.

4. 

  Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control 

a variety of the device’s functions. If the code that has 

been stored controls the majority of the device’s functions, 

programming is complete. If the code stored does not give 

maximum functionality, try another code.

Brand Code Search

The Brand Code Search goes through only the codes for one of the 

select brands listed in the accompanying code list. If your brand of 

device is listed, this search can be very quick and easy. 

TIPS:

 Each device key is associated with a type of device—the 

TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•STRM for satellite 

receivers, cable boxes or streaming players, DVD•VCR for DVD 

players, and AUDIO•SB for audio devices and soundbars. To 

program a device key for a different type of device, see the

POWER key illuminates). 

 

While you’re holding down the device key, use your other 

hand enter the first five-digit code for your brand in the code 

list (the POWER key turns off after the first digit).

2.

  Find the Code List that came with 

the remote. Locate the section for 

the type of device you’re trying to 

program, and find your brand in that 

section. Circle the codes for your 

brand and keep them handy. 

NOTES

Test the remote with the device to make sure the device key is 

programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality. If 

some features don’t work, try a different code in the list.
Remember to enter the code for future reference in the box 

provided in the Code Retrieval section of this manual. 
If your brand isn’t listed in the code list, use one of the Code 

Search methods to program the remote control. (Refer to the 

Auto and Manual Code Search methods.)

If you release the device key any time during the Direct Code 

Entry procedure, the POWER key blinks four times, and the 

process is exited. The last programmed code under the device 

key is retained.

4.

the five-digit code, keep holding 

down the device key and look at 

the POWER key. 

 

Is the POWER key illuminated?

 YES: 

You’re done! You’ve programmed this device key.

 

NO, it blinked four times and turned off: 

You have either 

entered a code number that is not in the code lists or missed 

a step in the code entry procedure. Try step 3 again. 

Manual Code Search

The Manual Code Search lets you go one-by-one through all the 

codes for the device you’re trying to control. When you find the one 

that operates your device, you can stop the search and store that 

code. 

TIPS:

 The Manual Code Search method may take a long time 

because the remote searches through all of the codes in its 

memory one-by-one. If your brand is listed in the Brand Codes 

or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or the Direct 

Code Entry method.

Each device key is associated with a type of device—the TV is 

preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•STRM for satellite receivers, 

cable boxes or streaming players, DVD•VCR for DVD players, 

and AUDIO•SB for audio devices and soundbars. To program

Changing A Key’s Device Type

Each device key is associated with a type of device—the TV is preset 

to search for TVs, 

SAT•CBL•STRM

 for satellite receivers, cable 

boxes or

 streaming players

, DVD•VCR for DVD players or VCRs, and 

AUDIO•SB for audio devices and soundbars. To program these keys 

to control a different kind of device, you have to reassign them first. 

Reassigning the DVD•VCR Key to Control a VCR

The DVD•VCR key defaults to control a DVD player. If you want 

the DVD•VCR key to control a VCR, you must reassign it.
1.   Press and hold the DVD•VCR key. The POWER key 

illuminates. Keep holding down the DVD•VCR key.

2.   While holding down the DVD•VCR key, press and release the 

number 2 key on the keypad. The POWER key turns off.

3.   Release the DVD•VCR key. The POWER key blinks two times 

and then turns off. The DVD•VCR key is now set to control a 

VCR.

4.   Follow the directions in the auto, brand, direct entry, or manual 

code search to program the DVD•VCR key for your VCR. 

Reassigning the AUDIO•SB Key To Control Other Devices

The AUDIO•SB key defaults to control an audio device or 

soundbar. If you want the AUDIO•SB key to control a different 

device (an additional TV, DVD, satellite or cable box, for example), 

you must reassign it.
1.   Press and hold the AUDIO•SB key. The POWER key turns on.
2.   While holding down the AUDIO•SB key, press and release the 

number key on the keypad for the device you wish to control 

(see the chart below). The POWER key turns off.

Code Retrieval

Once you’ve programmed the remote to control your devices, you 

may want to record the codes for future reference. If you used the 

Direct Code Entry method, this is easy. Just find the codes you 

entered and make a note of them in the boxes below. If you used 

one of the Code Search methods to program your remote or if 

you used the Direct Entry method but don’t remember the code, 

you will need to retrieve each device’s five-digit code. Retrieving 

the actual code and writing it down will save you time if you ever 

need to program the remote again. If the codes are recorded, you 

can use the Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to 

control your devices, which is quick and easy.

1.   Press and hold the device key 

(TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR, 

AUDIO•SB) whose code you 

wish to retrieve. The POWER key 

illuminates. Keep pressing the 

device key.

2.   While holding the device key down, press and hold the INFO 

key. The POWER key turns off. After holding down both keys 

for three seconds, the POWER key turns back on.

3.   Release both keys. The POWER key remains on.
4.   Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each 

number key on the keypad in the following order: 1-9, then 

0. The number that causes the POWER key to blink is the first 

number of the code. As you find each number of the code, 

write it down for future reference.

Note:

 All TV codes begin with the number 1; all VCR and DVR 

codes begin with the number 2; all DVDs, the number 3; all 

audio devices, the number 4; and all satellite receivers, cable 

boxes, streaming players and DTV converters, the number 5.

5.   Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all five numbers in the 

code. After the fifth number is retrieved, the POWER key 

blinks briefly, then turns off.

TIP:

 To exit the Code Retrieval Mode at any time, press the EXIT 

key.

Note:

 If you press an invalid key during the Code Retrieval 

process, the remote will not respond. If you do not press a valid 

Code Retrieval key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR, AUDIO•SB, 

INFO, EXIT), Code Retrieval times out after 15 seconds. The 

POWER key blinks four times, and then turns off.

IMPORTANT

Because this remote controls more than one device, you must 

first “tell” the remote which device you wish to operate. That 

means, if you wish to operate your TV, you must first press the 

TV key to put the remote in the TV Mode. The remote stays 

in that device mode until you press a different device key. 

For example, if your remote is in TV Mode and you want to 

operate the DVD player, you must press the DVD•VCR key to 

change device modes.

Problem: The remote does not operate your device.

•   Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the 

corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR, 

AUDIO•SB). This tells the remote which device to operate.

•   Remove any obstacles between the remote and the device. Make 

sure you’re aiming the remote at the device’s IR sensor.

•   Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. Replace 

the batteries with two new AAA batteries, if necessary (see the 

Battery Installation section). 

Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate your 

device.

•   If you are testing the remote while programming it, you may be too 

far away from the device or at a wrong angle. There must be an 

unobstructed path between the remote and the IR sensor on the 

device. Move closer and make sure you point the remote at the device 

you’re trying to control.

•   If you’re using the Direct Entry programming method to enter the 

codes for your brand and the unit is still not functioning properly, try 

the auto, brand, or manual search method.

•   To control combo units, like TV/VCRs or TV/DVDs, you must 

program the individual corresponding device keys to control each 

part of the combo unit. Once programmed successfully, the TV key 

controls the TV functions, and the DVD•VCR key controls the VCR 

or DVD functions. 

•   Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.

Problem: The remote doesn’t perform commands properly.

•   Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the 

corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR, 

AUDIO•SB). This tells the remote which device to operate.

•   Make sure device is ready (for example, the DVD player has a disc 

loaded).

•   You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in.
•   If you’re trying to enter a channel number directly, try pressing 

the ENTER key after entering the channel number as this is a 

requirement of certain models and brands.

•   There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be able 

to control some of your device features (for example, only turns a 

device on and off). To confirm that the device key is programmed 

with the correct code for maximum functionality, test the device. 

Attempt to control a variety of the device’s functions with the 

remote. If some of the features of your devices don’t work, try 

programming the remote with a different code in the list using the 

Direct Code Entry Method, until you find the code that allows the 

remote to control the majority of your device’s functions. Different 

codes can provide different levels of functionality.

Problem: The POWER key does not light when you press a key.

•   You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in. 
•  Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the 

corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR, 

AUDIO•SB). This tells the remote which device to operate.

•   Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. Replace 

the batteries with two new AAA batteries, if necessary (see the 

Battery Installation section). 

Problem: The remote will not change channels on device.

•  Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the 

corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR, 

AUDIO•SB). This tells the remote which device to operate.

•   Press the ENTER key after you enter a channel number.
•   Remove any obstacles between the remote and the device. Make 

sure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the device.

Problem: The device’s menu does not appear on the TV screen.

•   Make sure you have connected the device to your TV properly and 

selected the correct input. (See your devices’ Owner’s Manuals for 

proper connection procedures.)

•  Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the 

corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR, 

AUDIO•SB). This tells the remote which device to operate.

•   Menu access isn’t supported for all brands. You may need to use 

your original remote control to access menu functions for some 

devices.

Volume Punch-Through

Volume punch-through allows the VOL and MUTE keys, when 

pressed in 

SAT•CBL•STRM

 or DVD•VCR modes, to “punch 

through” to TV or AUDIO•SB. Volume punch-through occurs 

automatically and allows you to control the volume without exiting 

the current mode. (If the DVD•VCR key has been programmed 

with a TV code, volume can punch through to this device as well.)

Notes:

 Volume punch-through does not occur in cases where the 

component code has its own volume/mute controls, such as some 

satellite receivers.
Volume punch-through sends volume commands to the last device 

you were controlling, either TV or AUDIO•SB, before the active 

device. For example, if you were controlling the TV before you 

started controlling your DVD player, the volume commands will 

“punch through” to the TV while you’re in DVD•VCR mode.

Channel Lock

Channel lock automatically sends channel commands, like the CH, 

GO BACK, and 0–9 number keys, to your satellite receiver, cable 

box, or digital TV converter when you’re in TV mode. This can save 

you keypresses if you use a device other than your TV to change 

channels. 

To turn channel lock on:

1. 

Press and hold the device key for the device you use to 

change channels. While you’re holding down this device key, 

use your other hand to press and hold the remote’s CH up 

key at the same time.

2.  Wait until the remote’s POWER key comes on and stays on. 

Then release both keys.

3.  Press ENTER to lock channel commands to this device.

To turn channel lock off:

1. 

Press and hold the TV key. While you’re holding down the TV 

key, use your other hand to press and hold the remote’s CH 

down key at the same time.

2.  Wait until the remote’s POWER key comes on and stays on. 

Then release both keys.

3.  Press ENTER to start changing channels with your TV.
